This may be the last time you see Elodie in the flower shop, so for a little fun, I threw her "in the cooler." Elodie leaves for France on Tuesday. It will be sad for us to see her go, we have gotten very used to having her here with us. Elodie has been able to apprentice on 23 weddings, since arriving here, just 4 and half weeks ago. That ought to give her a clue about the wedding world.
Today we delivered the most amazing wedding flowers to our bride Katy. We provided full service styling and detailing for this event and I will share all of those little treasures with you on Monday. The above flower basket was one of the many remarkable designs we created for this awesome family.
After we delivered Katy's wedding flowers, we got back to work on our events for tomorrow. I am providing the flowers to 3 lucky brides tomorrow.
The flower shop girls were awesome this week, and I am so grateful for the creativity they share with me, and I am always grateful for the laughter.
Tonight was a really late work night for us, most of the designers did not leave until after 9:pm. Thankfully they held down the fort while I ran Elijah, Sam, and Grace down to the school for a little trick or treat.
Big brother Alex also just got home for the weekend and he immediately went into carving pumpkins with the little ones.
The flower shop comes in handy when its kid craft time.
Here is our jokester Riley!
Night, night!!
I really love your blog! I look forward to reading each and every one! Your love of what you do, who you do it with and who you do it for really comes through in your work! I too have a floral design business (here in California) along with a young family, so I really relate with your life. What a blessing you are to learn from – thanks for sharing!
23 weddings in 4 weeks?!?!?!? What is your secret? I think I am going to come visit you for a month, I want to learn more about your business techniques too. Such a beautiful family. And I LOVE the flower girl basket, so beautiful!!!
